Injuries On Florida Waterways

Unfortunately, alcohol often plays a significant role in people's enjoyment of the water. This sometimes leads to asphyxiation due to being knocked into the water by someone who was boating while intoxicated, serious spinal injuries in a Jet Ski accident, or a loved one drowned after his or her fishing boat capsized due to another person's negligence. When this happens, we can help.

Maritime Legal Issues Present Unique Challenges

Maritime law governs injuries that occur on navigable waters. An injury on a rented wave runner or Jet Ski may raise maritime law issues, including owner/operator liability or statute of limitations issues. Maritime laws can be complex. Cases brought under maritime law require a different analysis than other personal injury cases.

We handle serious maritime law cases. We understand the intricacies present in these complex cases. We also represent employees who are injured in sea-going jobs and may have a claim under the Jones Act.
